Scientists of the Tomsk National Research Medical Center (Nenz Tomsk) rated the consequences of pneumonia related to COVID-19 on the state of the cardiovascular system. This is reported in a press release on the SDUNUKI website.rf.
The study was attended by a hundred patients over 18 years old with a confirmed diagnosis of pneumonia associated with coronavirus infection, which were cured or were discharged from the hospital over the year or three months. Experts assessed how the disease was reflected on the broncho-pulmonary and cardiovascular system during a 12-month period of observation. This made it possible to determine the predictors of such complications, which were expressed in changes in the structure and function of tissues.
It turned out that such people have an increase in such cardiovascular disorders such as arterial hypertension and chronic heart failure.
In the future, experts plan to create a model that allows you to predict the adverse effects of the disease in a long-term perspective in various groups of patients who suffered coronavirus infection.
